MEAT SOLD TO LOCAL MARKETS

WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS DISPOSE OF STOCK IN RICHMOND. BIG PACKING HOUSES HIT Shipment of Meat From Chicago to Tils City About Half as Large As Formerly. There is perhaps no community its size in America where as much meat is consumed as in Richmond and its vicinity and there is, perhaps, no rommunity in the country where the hi meat packing concerns, like Armour's and Swift's, do as little bus'incss. Nearly all the meat eaten by Richmond and Wayne County people is from stock raised by Wayne County farmers. , Several years ago this condition of affairs did not exist and nearly all the meat supplied to local markets was shipped into this city from Chicago and the big packing houses in that city took many thousand dollars from Richmond and Wayne County people, f When the Richmond Abbatoir Co. first started up it was predicted that the so called "meat trust" would loose no time in driving the concern out of the business but the predictions were groundless and 'that" firm ia now doing a flourishing business. In former days when the stock raisers in the county wished to dispose of their cattle, hogs and sheep they drove their herds to the railroad stock yards and shipped them to the Chicago market. They have found that the stock they raise is demanded for home consumption and t!ie po. rentage that is shipped to foreign markets is about twice as small ns it was three years ago.

IHD1AHAP0LIS MARKETS I

Indianapolis, Jan. 23. Receipts today 5,000 hogs, 930 cattle and 50 sheep against 5,865 hogs, 1,714 cattle and 292", sheep a week ago and 10,019 hogs, 1,797 cattle and 1S3 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were considerably smaller than the average at this time in the week and only about half as large as a year ago. The market opened with a good demand and offerings from the start changed hands promptly at an advance of 510e over yesterday. The supply was only about large enough to accommodate the urgent requirements. A good clearance was made early and the close was steady at the advance. Sales- ranged from $5.40 to $5.77 and the bulk of thesupply sold at $5.555.70, with several at $5.75. The top today is the highest since the close of last September and S7VoC higher than a year 'ago. There was a small supply of cattle, and a continued scarcity of those good enough to sell around top prices. More on account of the small supply the market opened with better eompetiton between buyers, and there were numerous sales of the better grades 10c higher. There was a poor demand for heifers, however, and they sold slowly. There was no change in the market for feeders, bulls were steady, and calves about the same as yesterday. There were not enough sheep or lambs to establish a range in prices. Such as were here sold steady, compared with the close of last week. There were no lambs good enough to bring over $7.25. Others sold for $6.007.00. At steady prices yearlings would have sold from $6.00 down and sheep from $5.00 down. Cattle.

HEAVY BUYING CHECKS SELLING MOVEMENT AFTER VIOLENT PROP. v UNSEASONABLE WEATHER Prevalent in Crop Regions Causes Concern Pools Rally Market. New York, January 23. The stock market opened active and irregular. The iron, copper and lead stocks were all lower and the southwestern railroads also showed depression. Anaconda lost 2 points, Canadian Pacific 112, Lead 1,' Atchison about a point and Missouri Pacific a large fraction. Reading was rushed up 14" on running sales, Northern Pacific, gained IV2, and St. Paul l1Reading lost most of its gain within the first few minutes of trade. Concent over the ' unseasonable weather prevalent in crop regions and the heavy selling of Reading, which drove it from 164 to 161, accounted for the sharp dip in prices after the opening dealings. St. Paul and Northern Pacific surrendered their gains, and Colorado Fuel and Locomotive were driven down 1 to 1. Supporting orders and vigorous resumption of pool operations in various specialties rallied the market substantially. NEW YORK STOCKS.. (Furnished by O. G.
